Cartoon Copyright

Hi Laurie!

It depends on the cartoon source. You'd have to check with them. There
are some sources for cartoons where you purchase the cartoon and you
can use it for anything -- royalty free rights. Other sources require
more complicated payments and permissions based on usage and the number
of people who will see the image.

Sometimes you go directly to the cartoon creator other times you go to
the syndication source. For instance, you can get cartoons from
Cartoonbank.com < http://www.cartoonbank.com >. Select a New Yorker
cartoon and you can get permission to use it in a presentation for
$19.95. If you want more info, click on the "presentations" tab at the
top of their web site.

Hope this helps.
